  1. the “occupiers” will return to occupying their parents basements once the media stops breathelessly praising them…hmm…wonder how media corporations can be down with their anti-corporate message.

  2. Yet incredibly, once again, we find ourselves in a situation where the Left has co-opted the call for change, even in a society where they hold all the levers of power. Also, on cue, the American Right (such as it is) is rallying to defend the status quo, to argue in defense of the kleptocrats that are destroying them.

  3. Sickening watching the media party in Canada try and sell those anarchists and unionists as a legit movement worthy of media attention and blather. Sickening watching them report fluff whilst ignoring the fact that they are either being paid, fed or a nutjob in said reporting.

  4. If you can’t even figure out where to take a crap (and more importantly where NOT to), you have NO BUSINESS having any say whatsoever in the ordering of something complex, such as an economy or a country.

  5. It is now the medias job to showcase scum that has a lower IQ, if possible than most media workers. Give a podium to the worthless, the stupid and also the crooked, witness Suzuki and Gore, this is all you will get from the so called MSM, is the attempt to elevate the useless of society into something to be revered. The breathless CNN and ABC CBS CBC etc reporters who could listen to this Romper room Captian Kangaroo level of narrative with our puking are the problem, you know the ones that are so easily fooled by the Hope and Changies, that is sure working, in Soros’s favour that is.

  6. Given the fact we haven’t seen laissez-faire Capitalism in North America since the robber barons centralized Zombie baking, crony marketeering and government-regulated commodity supply, I really can’t understand what these so called tea Partiers are so in love with. Yes the occupation forces have their fair share of DNC agitators, welfare state entitlement gluts and unionist thugs but the idea of cutting a central zombie bank and its corporate welfare clients loose from the public dole, should appeal to true tea partiers.
    The centrist and soft left supporters of these protests are working people who have had their future sold out to being tax slaves to the deficit column of a central zombie bank. They are angry and they blame (rightfully) the corrupted economic institutions and their crony parties/governments. There is a lot of common ground with the Tea Party wanting to return to constitutionally constrained government and true capitalism. The problem that the mushy center and left need to get over is that it is not profit that is bad, it’s STOLEN profit that is bad – and we have an economic and governing system focused on stealing our profit.
    Look beyond the radicals, the scripted street theatrics and the phony left right media partisanism and there is a lot of common ground between these movements which are fundamentally fed up with intrusive government, crony economics and the single plutocratic political agenda with 2 parties.

  7. “We do not know what our demands are” says it all. Useful little idiot tools of van Jones and George Soros.
    I would rather have an executive in a business suit that occasionally tries to shaft me when he thinks he can get away with it than a Chekist with a mission to convert or kill me.
    “Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do with the approval of their own conscience.”
    C. S. Lewis

  9. These people remind me of the drum beaters crying over the forest.
    Mindless zombies who don’t even know where their food comes from.
    This is the harvest of socialism set free.
    It will poison the whole culture.
    What are these future homeless gonna do when Mom & Pop die? Its obvious they can’t look after themselves. Who would hire the babies?

  11. I just love the way the protesters “chant” their opponent down,instead of debating their point,”you’re the problem,you’re the problem….”
    They sure are reasonable people.

  12. YT + WK = EI
    Where YT = youtube
    WK = gainful employment
    EI = Unemployement
    not a theory a law!

  13. Cal2 – thanks, and correct. Government and their zombie banking pals are the problem. I’m looking past the loopy-left astro turf who attempt to high jack these demonstrations to the ideology and support base that started the organic movement away from mindless self-destructive trust in government and the system.
    Many of the people in the mushy center and soft left are working people who have had their wealth and property stolen to an economic meltdown orchestrated by Wall Street banks who took toxic high risk debt and resold it as a prime investments, then when the scam was up, they sucked trillions out of the public to underwrite their losses and get government absolution for this bunko crime that ruined millions of Americans.
    This was NOT capitalism. This is crony capitalism and it’s a high crime in a free market. Government was complicit in the crime by not punishing the criminals but rewarding them with public subsidy and government absolution. If these people the toxic debt scam ruined ever do get a job and get back on their feet financially the government will continue to rob them to pay the debt load of bailing out these zombie banks – like rubbing salt in an open wound. People of all political stripes were affected and are rightfully angry.
    Yes government IS the problem. The tea party should embrace this sentiment of the soft left and center and teach them that the solution is not more government but less.

  14. The great strength of the Left is that it constitutes both the system and the only permissible alternative. This country, and the West, is governed by the power of international finance and the unholy conglomerate of big business and big government controlled by those hostile to us. Together they undermine national sovereignty, fund the destruction of traditional values, bankroll the hard Left, hollow out the conservative movement into a pointless defense of corruption and privilege, and push open borders. They are the enemy of any real conservatism and the small business owners and workers that make up any real right wing movement. Yet incredibly, once again, we find ourselves in a situation where the Left has co-opted the call for change, even in a society where they hold all the levers of power. Also, on cue, the American Right (such as it is) is rallying to defend the status quo, to argue in defense of the kleptocrats that are destroying them.

  15. Here’s a good, short, non-technical piece over at mises.org. I was especially struck by his remark about the “honest left”, aka, the “old left”. As a libertarian I confess to being often uncomfortable with how many of my views converge with those of the the “old honest left”. But unlike the honest left, I have a good yeoman’s understanding of economics. Murray Rothbard often spoke of the “old right” was isolationist, anti-war (think Pat Buchanan).
    Occupied by Government
    “I have to say that I share most — if not all — the goals of the honest Left, which would be embodied in a constantly rising standard of living for the lowest economic classes. I often find myself watching Democracy Now for its antiwar, free-speech, and anti-death-penalty stances. But the big problem with the honest Left is their absolute and obstinate refusal to learn the most basic economic principles. The “Occupy Wall Street” movement is no different, and it is a real pity that all this energy and frustration can’t be put to use toward achieving their goal.
    “Many demands are being made, but sadly, if these were ever implemented, they would make problems worse by lowering the standard of living for all —especially for the poor! I will proceed to address some of the demands in plain English, hoping to reach out to them.
    —————–
    He goes on to explain the absurdity of some of the demands.

  16. To bad we couldn’t separate the chaff from the wheat.
    The fact is that many in America are frightened by the huge economic downturn, the failure of their country in International affairs and no sense of hope on the horizon.
    Regrettably, the media clowns have already shaped the issues and motives of the crowd without finding out any facts.
    I’m sure if one really looked we would find the usual group of anarchists and rent a jerk bunch in this crowd. I’m pretty sure the Chicago based area Industrial relations organizes would be involved as would some of our radical Unions.
    But, be careful because a lot of genuinely hurting people are also involved.
    Somehow the media party and the loony left will find a way to highjack legitimate anger and fear to promote their agenda.
    We shouldn’t write these guys off as “nuts”, dangerous nuts maybe, but still able to frame the agenda their way.
    When they do their thing in Vancouver, try and pick the usual faces out of the crowd. That will tell us who and what they are!

  17. Yeah, there is a lot of common ground with the flea baggers. They want our heads on pikes, and for us to pay for their every need through our work, which they plan to conveniently avoid.

  19. Did you see the hair on that girl? No way she’s been sleeping on the streets for three weeks.

    it’s the tee-aitch-see party…
    “Also present and infuriating the hard core of activists are a number
    of teens looking to turn the gathering into an urban rave.”
    “Among the banners and flags are now discarded packets of
    condoms, cigarettes and bottles of spirits, while naked
    youngsters     happily get together with just sleeping bags
    covering their modesty.”
